Have You Seen This Man?: Left-Wing Terrorist And Killer Leo Burt, Who Has Been On The Run For 37 Years

America's Most Wanted tells the story of August 24, 1970 in Madison, Wisconsin:

People from thirty miles away were awakened by the big boom and pieces of the stolen truck were found on the roofs of eight story buildings three blocks away. Sterling Hall was in ruins.  The physics department was completely destroyed.  The chemistry department was next to ruined.  Ironically, the New Year's Eve Gang's target, the Army Math Research Center, was only slightly damaged.  Years and years of research was gone.  Thirty-two other buildings on the campus were damaged.  The explosion cost UW over $6 million to repair the damage. ...

Their victim was Robert Fassnacht, a physics researcher studying superconductivity.  His project, which included years and years of research, was also destroyed in the blast.  Many physicists would have to start from scratch.  Fassnacht was a father of three, his children all youngsters.  He was in the lab late because the Fassnacht family was going on a vacation the next day and being such a dedicated worker, Robert wanted to finish his project before leaving. ...

We know one fact: Leo Burt, one of the worst terrorists in American history, has evaded justice for nearly forty years. It's time to bring him home, and make him face his vicious crime.

Those photos are age-progressed views of what Leo Burt might look like, 37 years later. If you have your own blog, why not consider running them? And if you've seen Leo Burt, call America's Most Wanted: 1-800-CRIME-TV. (via Charlie Sykes)
